Whew, that was a close call! Just a few hours before Kanye West popped the question to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian, star of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, a couple of radio deejays nearly unraveled the rapper’s secret proposal plans. In an interview with KMEL’s Sana and Kimmie, the radio personalities asked Kanye if marriage was a possibility, but the new dad artfully evaded the question and was able to keep his secret plans intact.

“I just feel so blessed,” the 36-year old told the deejays. He then clarified that the topic of marriage was off limits, saying, “I’m not answering those questions” Instead, he used the air time to gush about the deep love his has for his baby mama, though, saying, “I have never loved any girl, other than my mother, as much as I love my girlfriend. I’m so happy to be with her, to live this life together, and — with our relationship with God — to be able to live forever in heaven together, and also to raise a strong family that communicates truth and beauty.” Awwww…..look at Kanye West, gettin’ all mushy on us.

The rapper also explained why he and his Keeping Up With the Kardashians girlfriend do so well together, and apparently it all stems from a shared love for….fashion? “This girl is one of the No. 1 designers in the world. I don’t know exactly what her numbers are, but Sears does something like 300, 400 million a year,” he told the deejays. “She’s been spending her whole check on clothes since she was 16, just like me.” Wow, who knew that a common interest in clothes shopping would result in true love for a hip hop star and a reality princess?

Of course, little did the listeners know at the time that Kanye was about to take all his lovey-dovey feelings to an unprecedented level by orchestrating an epic proposal that could’ve come straight out of a romance novel. We all know by now that Kanye’s plans including renting out the San Francisco Giants stadium, having a 50-piece orchestra on hand, and using the Jumbotron to display his proposal. I can’t help but wonder how much time he spent choosing his outfit for such a momentous occasion.
